The Dallas Public Library, Dallas Water Utilities, courts and more have been affected by the cyberattack.
Jim McDade, president of the Dallas Firefighters Association, says the ransomware attack is forcing the fire department to use a radio and paper system.
At the Dallas Police Department, Dallas Police Association President Mike Mata says there are similar headaches for police officers. The ransomware attack was first noted on Wednesday morning, and city officials has been tight-lipped about it since. "Since City of Dallas’ Information and Technology Services detected a cyber threat Wednesday morning, employees have been hard at work to contain the issue and ensure continued service to our residents. While the source of the outage is still under investigation, I am optimistic that the risk is contained. For those departments affected, emergency plans prepared and practiced in advance are paying off.
